NASCAR’s Richest Drivers Aren’t Worried About Speeding Tickets

Stock car racing is undeniably one of the most popular sports in the United States. Sanctioned by NASCAR, it's home to 17 of the top 20 most attended sports events every year. For the men and women behind the wheels of these cars, the financial rewards are momentous, skyrocketing as attendance and television viewing records are shattered yearly. If you thought NFL, NBA, and MLB players were well compensated for their talents, then you've never taken a look at the books of NASCAR's highest-paid racers!

Jimmie Johnson - $160 Million

If you think Jimmie Johnson has a lot of money now, just wait until his racing career is over! Up to now, the current face of NASCAR has earned $160 million in his career. When he finally pulls over and retires, we imagine Dale Earnhardt Jr. might lose his place on this list.

Johnson isn't letting his wealth and fame cloud his vision, though. The athlete prefers to stay humble, donating large chunks of his earnings while participating in hundreds of charity events. He even has his own non-profit, the Jimmie Johnson Foundation, which works to raise money for K-12 public schools.

Ken Schrader - $75 Million

Ken Schrader amassed his fortune through sheer will and determination. Schrader never met a stock car he didn't like, and as a result, raced for several organizations ranging from NASCAR to ARCA. His overall record isn't great, but we're guessing he's okay with that.

If we made $75 million over our career, wins and losses would only be circumstantial, too. It doesn't hurt that Schrader also invests in the sport he loves and owns several of his own speedways and raceways.

Kevin Harvick - $70 Million

Kevin Harvick is still an active racer, and arguably right up there with Jimmie Johnson in terms of talent.

If you don't believe it, then consider this, Harvick is the third-winningest driver in Monster Cup Energy Series history. The only reason he hasn't earned as much money as Johnson is a perceived lack of marketability. Still, it's hard to deny Harvick has done just fine for himself in his NASCAR career.

Dale Earnhardt Sr. - $70 Million

The elder Earnhardt, who tragically passed away in 2001, is one of the greatest NASCAR drivers of all-time. Tied with Richard Petty for the most Championships (seven), he stands heads and shoulders above his competition.

Financially, however, Earnhardt Sr. comes up short. In a testament to just how NASCAR has grown in the last 20 years, all you have to do is look at Earnhardt Sr.'s earnings and compare them to his son, who we'll see soon.

Cale Yarborough - $50 Million

Cale Yarborough won 86 races during his illustrious NASCAR career. That number puts him in the sport's top five wins leaders, and if he was racing today, he would undoubtedly be one of top five earners.

Jeff Gordon - $200 Million

The car turned out to be the perfect family vehicle for Newman and his kids. He regularly takes them to get ice cream in it. It has proven to be way more reliable than it looks, even if it's not as pretty as his race day Camaro.

As Suarez tells it, the car came close to breaking down several times, but it never quit on him. Since becoming a star in NASCAR, he has fixed up his miracle Beetle, treating it with the same love it showed him all those years ago.

Another reason Logano loves his Thunderbird is because he proposed to his wife in it, so it must be good luck. This would definitely be the right choice for him to show up at the Daytona 500 in!

Bubba Wallace Goes Everywhere With His Ford F-150

It makes sense that Bubba Wallace would drive a truck when he's not zipping around the track in his team sponsored Chevy. Before joining the elite ranks of NASCAR, he drove in the Xfinity Truck Series.

In his spare time, he still drives a Ford F-150, and he can take it anywhere. It might not be as fast as the one he raced in, but it's just as reliable and durable. Since getting behind the wheel of a Chevy, though, we can't help but wonder if a Silverado might be in his future.

Elliot's Silverado might not be fancy, but is reliable. It's also perfect for any adventure Elliot decides might want to get into. Maybe one day, Bubba Wallace will ask Elliot what he thinks about his Silverado when he starts thinking about buying one of his own.
